H.T.Chen & Dancers Performances

Apple Dreams

About the Performance

Premiered: World Financial Center, New York City

H.T. Chen’s use of space, dynamics and imagery is masterful and the Winter Garden captures his imagination as a canvas for Apple Dreams. Scenes expand and contract, bringing the viewer on a journey from the mundane to the magical. Mr. Chen paints in broad strokes, yet allows intimate details to emerge. In one scene, 15 dancers fill the space with running, shouting, spinning - creating a vortex of energy. This is followed by a scene where a tiny boy ventures alone into the woods in search of treasure. Infants, elders, tree ghosts, colorful banners and goddesses inhabit the fantastical world of Apple Dreams.

Commissioned by arts World Financial Center with support from the Council for Cultural Affairs, Taiwan, ROC and Hugh L. Carey Battery Park City Authority. Co-presented by H.T. Chen & Dancers.
